Abstract
A Z-scheme heterojunction designed via hot injection method enables growth of nanocrystals on nanosheets. This single-domain design causes a polarization electric field within the nanosheets and an electric field at the heterojunction interface. Both drive charge separation enhancing CO 2 reduction.
